[kj] OT: was sisters, now Jaz pompous ?

[pssyche23]

OTG aside, not so much thought of as pompous but Jaz was continually described as a nutcase, especially in the UK music press - that 1983 Spanish TV interview illustrates well how predictions of a imminent return to savagery albeit in mutant form are met with embarrassment on a early to mid 80's music show - recent events in Japan show how fragile our world is despite all the technology so with regards to long time Killing Joke environmental observations I'd say Jaz's own stock has rarely been higher ...  a great time for a new KJ single/tour but horrifying to see such appalling human suffering.

>> Weird thing about the Sisters as a live-concern these days (and these days means everything since the mid-90s, I guess), is that they continue to write and perform NEW songs, but they just don't exist as official releases. Sure, you can prize them as muddied bootlegs, but for some of us -- that's just not good enough. Their wry little website has been coy about things for literally decades.
